Budgewoi Beach Dunecare

Primary Education BBDC partnered Budgewoi Public School in the initial coastal restoration program. The practical component was planting of pig face on the reshaped foredune crest. Secondary Education Northlakes High School, Henry Kendall High School, Central Coast Christian School have all carried out practical dune restoration works and programs at Budgewoi beach. Tertiary Education Newcastle University 1997-2002 three specialist study students carried out their studies on Budgewoi Beach. These studies covered a range of monitoring activities designed to enhance an understanding of coastal restoration works being carried out by BBDC. Marine Biology students from Newcastle University, Ourimba Campus have since 2008 annually monitored rehabilitated foredune profiles and vegetation to compare with non-rehabilitated foredune profiles. This important data has demonstrated an increased biodiversity in rehabilitated coastal dune systems at Budgewoi beach.
